For Secondary teaching, students must qualify for two separate specialist areas, or one double specialist area (e.g. Visual Art, Languages, Music). At least a major study in one teaching area is required with the minimum of a minor study for a second teaching area.

For Primary and Secondary teaching, students are required to be academically qualified for one specialist area with at least a major study.

If you are enrolled in a double degree with another Faculty, you must meet any additional requirements of your other degree. Secondary education double degree students need to be aware that you will not be permitted to progress to fourth year until you have met all the academic requirements of the first three
years of the course.

If you require assistance with choosing your units, or would like us to check the units you have chosen to ensure you are following your course progression plan, request a course progression check.

For more details, please refer to the University Handbook Area of Study entry for your course commencement year.
